VMF Spiral Binding From The Local Copy Shop

Anytime I finish a project I like to generate my own print version. There will be Lulu (and hopefully Drivethru) POD versions of Villain Mission Force, but I never want to wait. And I am actually running my first VMF RPG session this weekend, so I need a table copy of the rules. 

My local print shop, Copies On Carson here in Pittsburgh does great work. I elected to go with the parchment style paper because I love the texture and the look of it. 


I love the way Jan & William's cover pops.

Layout artist Todd Tuttle did a great job putting it all together.



One of my fav ever William Caddell pieces. 

Those silhouettes really pop!

Now that I have my table copy, I need to get to work on my prep work for Saturday's game. More on that in the next post. 

Thanks for reading!

      Me too, but it in a week or so you can get them on Lulu--excellent quality and relatively quick.

The Return of SuperFigs?

Image
 Well, maybe. The last year or so I have been quietly working with a talented digital sculptor who approached me about redesigning the SuperFigs line as STL files. It's been 24 years since the release of the first SuperFigs, and I just can't believe it.  So he has been slowly beavering away at figures who strike his fancy. And I am content to let the process play out and see where it goes. There's no deadline. No release date. No pressure.  But Eric did send me some test prints last month, and I finally got around to painting them up. Last year I had also gotten a batch and painted them, and I might have shared them on my FB group, but I don't remember. Anyway, these two are very nice and I am happy to show them off here now.  We have Zoya and Tenpin, along with some rebased Heroclix for scale.  Painted with a combo of Speed Paint and Fanatic paints. I really love the detail Eric achieves, and the posing is lovely.  Zoya is meant to be about 7' tall, so yo...

Villain Mission Force Unleashed!

Image
Villain Mission Force: Solo / Co-Op Anti-Heroic Skirmish RPG  is now available in PDF! Get it here ! Here's the key info:  From nobody to nemesis?  Villain Mission Force (VMF) allows players to run a small team of low-level supervillains through a gauntlet of challenges that will make or break their villainous reps. Utilizing easy 2D6 mechanics, VMF’s multiple play modes include solo, co-op, PvP, or RPG. VMF offers rules for character origins and backgrounds, a versatile power system for varied character design, and a campaign system that will carry them from third-stringers to major threats. VMF also provides dozens of write-ups for foes that you can run using flexible, archetype-based mechanics. All you need to play are some figures from any manufacturer, a tape measure marked in inches, a handful of six-sided dice, around ten numbered chits or cards, and a suitable play area. Are you ready to build your team and join the infamous ranks of the VMF? Villainy awaits! Ch...

Yeah, I make a lot of super games...

     Artwork by Jan Annarella.  I make a lot of super games because I love the genre and I love tinkering with different mechanics and dice systems.  I figure that if you also like super games, one of my rule sets might be for you! That's why a couple of years ago I published the FCS Guide to Super Gaming . It's a list of all of the currently available supers games I make, along with brief write-ups and complexity ratings about them.  I've just updated it to include the imminently available VMF game, but I also wanted to share the text here because I think these sorts of "insider" tidbits might prove interesting to folks who like my games.  I'll also include the entry for SSG that comes right before it in the document for context and comparison:  Super Skirmish Gaming Core System: 3D6 (roll-over) Complexity: 6 of 10 Published in 2022, Super Skirmish Gaming (SSG) synthesizes years of superhero gaming experience into one slick book that offers easy ...
